The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gmane.emacs.emacspeak.general as well.
Neither -- ie Emacspeak is not "American centric " by design, but its
default settings are definitely set up for English as the default.
For how Unicode is handled, see module dtk-unicode.el -- start first by
reading its documentation at
http://tvraman.github.io/emacspeak/manual/dtk_002dunicode.html#dtk_002dunicode
At a high-level you want to customize option
dtk-unicode-untouched-charsets to include character sets that your TTS
engine handles on its own -- so for instance, if you have a Japanese
TTS engine, you add the relevant character sets that you use routinely
to that customization option.
